General ⇒ Recompile only works in report.tex file

[Flowiee]

Hello,

I have started a new project for my thesis and got a template from the university.
However, everytime I recompile in another file than report.tex, I only get a vague cover and nothing more.

Here is my share link : https://www.sharelatex.com/read/cdbhysgdjwrt

What I would like, is that I can recompile in every file and don't have to go back every time to the report.tex file

Kind regards,

Frido Tims

Hi Frido,

welcome to the forum!

Some LaTeX editors allow setting a project main file, that will be compiled no matter in which subfile you are. I think ShareLaTeX doesn't do it. You could check out Overleaf (http://overleaf.com) or a non-cloud LaTeX editor, but that requires a LaTeX installation on your PC, such as TeX Live (I would recommend).

Hi!

ShareLatex does use it, because in other projects I can do it.
But wanted a new cover style etcetera so started a new one, but can't fint the setting to change it.

Kind regards,

Frido

Problem solved!

Indeed, set report.tex as main file and the problem is solved.
Didn't knew where to set this, but found is by accident.
